To the Editor:

About 50,000 years ago there was a dramatic change in the earth's climate.

For some unknown reason, the energy output of the sun diminished. The polar ice caps expanded to the point that a mile of ice sat over York, Maine, so much water became ice, that what we call the edge of the continental shelf was the new shoreline. The land bridge between Europe and Africa became a natural dam.

Then suddenly, for some unknown reason, the energy output of the sun increased so much and so fast that the great ice cap melted in a very short time. The rising sea level turned the Euro-Afro land bridge into a giant waterfall, which re-flooded the Mediterranean Sea. People had to flee for their lives, or die, and yes there was a lot of rain.

This is what is coming next, again; not global warming, and there was nothing man could do about it then, and nothing we can do about it now.
